Well guys, I am going to have PC shut down for a bit, hopefully someone else sends up some logs. If you're interested, below is my small shell script (Linux) for reading and sending the log contents from a toon parked in EC with /log turned on.

The C program is up on my site, you can view it from the main auction page.

I currently need to boot into windows to create some pre-compiled binaries (right now I just have the source code up).

Please contribute your logs - I also have a basic upload option if you don't feel like running a program to do uploads for you.

Few things - the C program could probably be written better (right now I am saving a portion of the large log file to an out file, which means you'll have to have write permission in the directory you run the program).

Hey, so I tried running this under OS X and got some errors because the BSD version of stat(1) doesn't support --printf. Also, my log dir includes a space which was screwing with the for loop so I hacked the IFS variable. This works for me, and probably will under Linux too:

Ah, I knew there was a better way to do that but couldn't remember it. Thanks!

Just made some more changes: <strike>now it'll only grab the lines from the past minute including the word "auctions". So you won't get accused of spying on peoples' guild chat, and you won't get quite as much traffic from this</strike>. Aww, I can't seem to find an easy cross-platform way to do this. Oh well.

BTW, I never even know find would take a date specification like that. The manpage I was reading cryptically says it "is instead interpreted as a direct date specification of the form understood by cvs(1)" which I assumed meant some archaic hardcore Unix shit, but it turns out it's actually really flexible, which is cool.
